This exceptional circa 1880 High Victorian 14K gold festoon or garland necklace is adorned with four hand-carved natural coral rosebuds.

The necklace boasts three multi-tier pendants of gold circles with fluted centers and fine wire-work scroll borders. Each is hung with a polished terminal of gold in the shape of capped marquise. A rosebud in the center of each of these circles compliments the natural pinkish hue of the gold. These roses are set on steel studs, not merely applied with an adhesive. The scrolls and applied wreaths are yellow gold. The central circular pendant is topped with an ornately stamped surmount which is fitted with more wire-work scrolls, two terminals, and a large full-bloom coral rose in the center. A network of fine gold chains joins the three pendants in a most elegant fashion. I have taken extra close-ups so that you many enjoy the details in this marvelous piece.
The inner length of the necklace is 14 ˝" and the central pendant falls about 2 5/8" below the chain. The pendant closes with a spring-ring clasp stamped 14K and the pendants themselves test positive as 14K gold in purity. The circa 1880 necklace is in wonderful condition with no damage and no repairs. I have not polished it. Truly, it is not often one comes upon a delightful feminine garland necklace like this and the rosebuds give it all the more charm. This is worthy of the label "heirloom."
This is an estate consignment item.
